Blade Runner Trilogy: 25th Anniversary Special Edition (Score) (CD)

Vangelis

Amoeba Review

James Elliott 05/31/2010

In 2007, in conjunction with the five-disc 25th anniversary edition DVD set of Blade Runner, Universal released the classic electronic score to the film in a three-disc version that includes unreleased and bonus material. Vangelis is an undisputed master of electronic music and his soundtrack to Ridley Scott’s bleak vision of the future is an out and out classic of the genre. On Blade Runner Trilogy we are treated to the original synth-heavy score, a second disc of outtakes and bonus music featured in the film but not found on the OST release, and a third disc of Vangelis’ new music inspired by the film. This great release will certainly serve to cement the legend and legacy of this amazing soundtrack. Essential.
